Architecture, for me, is a way of connecting intelligence across scales: from material systems to urban networks, from computational logic to spatial experience. My work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and research, where I explore how computation, automation, and AI can shape more adaptive and meaningful environments.

Trained across architecture and computation, I have developed a practice that moves between buildings, systems, and workflows. Across academic and professional contexts, from the GSAPP Columbia, Bartlett UCL and Knowlton OSU, to RMJM, Dwellci AI, Roy Projects and Hualan Design and Consulting Group, I have contributed to projects that combine spatial thinking with parametric modeling, data-driven methods, and emerging design technologies. Rather than treating technology as an end in itself, I use it as a way to expand how architecture is conceived, tested, and communicated.

My projects often begin with broad questions: how housing can become more flexible and accessible, how resilience infrastructure can respond to uncertainty, how design systems can support collaboration across disciplines, and how digital tools can open new forms of participation and intelligence in the built environment. These questions take form through prototypes, workflows, speculative proposals, and architectural design.

Across these scales, I am interested in architecture not only as form-making, but as a framework for relationships: between people and systems, environment and infrastructure, imagination and implementation. I see the role of the architect today as evolving beyond authorship alone, toward orchestrating processes that bring together human creativity, technical rigor, and collective intelligence.

My practice is driven by this intersection of curiosity and precision, where architecture becomes more systemic, more responsive, and more open to new futures.
